Birmingham Public Library accepting donations during #GivingTuesday on Nov. 29

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama-The Birmingham Public Library (BPL) is accepting donations as part of the #GivingTuesday campaign.
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Donations help BPL’s 19 locations to serve nearly 1.5 million people a year throughout Birmingham, granting them access to information, programs and resources at no cost.

The Robotics Marathon, held recently at Central Library as part of Teens Engineer Birmingham, is among many free activities held in BPL’s 19 libraries daily. The afterschool program teaches engineering skills to dozens of teens weekly at Southside, Woodlawn and Central libraries (http://www.bplonline.org/about/press/Default.aspx?id=954).
